CAP. XII. Of the third Part. And the 43. of the Book. Of what is necessary for a mans reception into the Kingdom of heaven.
IT is evident from our Saviours commission unto his Apostles, Mat. 28.19, 20. That profession of faith and promise of obedience to him, gave any person right unto Baptism, by which we are solemnly admitted into the Church, which is Gods spiritual Kingdom. And faith with obedience, and obedience from faith, makes us capable of eternal life. And because we can neither believe nor obey sincerely without regeneration from heaven, there∣fore our Saviour saith, That except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God, John 3.3. If Mr. Hobbs had said no more, but that faith and obedience are necessary for reception into Gods Kingdom, he had done well: but he returns unto his vomit, and resumes some of his former errors formerly confuted. I wish him more knowledge and more modesty.
FINIS.
